"The driver worked great. I used it on an old Win95A machine to Multi-Boot WFWG, Win95A, and Win95B. Because I had some old DOS and Win95A games that I like to let the kids play.

I've got a 6-GB and a 512-MB hard drives installed, the 6-GB is for Win95B and the 512-MB is for WFWG and Win95A."

"Look at the label on your cd rom drive. If it has this model number on it and is made by LG, use this driver. Windows 98 doesn't seem to detect it automatically. Click on the downloaded file and it will unzip into the directory it is in. Then clik on "install" and reboot. Windows should recognize it now."

FYI for everyone who had a problem after you download the file you have to run it which extracts all the compressed files. You then have to run the install.exe file and reboot the PC.
